Careful -- these shortcuts in FM are case-sensitive, and the symbols are 
not identical.

The first key combination is CTRL + q (lowercase, not Q).
Following that with a curly bracket produces the Ring symbol (an accent 
used in some languages).
Following CTRL + q with a less-than sign produces the degree symbol.

(If you type one after the other, you'll see there is a difference in 
appearance between the ring and the degree symbols.)
